      [PATCH] Fix IO error reporting on fsync() · 58ff407b
      Jan Kara 提交于
      When IO error happens on metadata buffer, buffer is freed from memory and
      later fsync() is called, filesystems like ext2 fail to report EIO.  We
      
      solve the problem by introducing a pointer to associated address space into
      the buffer_head.  When a buffer is removed from a list of metadata buffers
      associated with an address space, IO error is transferred from the buffer to
      the address space, so that fsync can later report it.

      [PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages · d08b3851
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s.
      
      The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the
      write-fault, make writeable and set dirty.  On page write-back clean all the
      PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again.
      
      The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default
      backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained.  Hence it is not
      enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty.
      
      The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when:
       - its shared writeable
          (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)
       - it is not a 'special' mapping
          (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0
       - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty
          mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping)
       - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection
      
      Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW
      semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and
      because they don't have a backing store anyway.
      
      mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well.  However it overrides
      the last condition.
      
      Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call.
      It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped
      pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will
      also wrprotect the PTE.
      
      Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from
      under ->private_lock.  This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to
      serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself.  This is needed because
      clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate
      locking order.

      [PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag · b31dc66a
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
      ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
      io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
      and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
      previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
      this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
      
      Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
      the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
      by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

      [PATCH] fix possible PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT overflows · 54b21a79
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      We've had two instances recently of overflows when doing
      
      	64_bit_value = (32_bit_value << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT)
      
      I did a tree-wide grep of `<<.*PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT' and this is the result.
      
      - afs_rxfs_fetch_descriptor.offset is of type off_t, which seems broken.
      
      - jfs and jffs are limited to 4GB anyway.
      
      - reiserfs map_block_for_writepage() takes an unsigned long for the block -
        it should take sector_t.  (It'll fail for huge filesystems with
        blocksize<PAGE_CACHE_SIZE)
      
      - cramfs_read() needs to use sector_t (I think cramsfs is busted on large
        filesystems anyway)
      
      - affs is limited in file size anyway.
      
      - I generally didn't fix 32-bit overflows in directory operations.
      
      - arm's __flush_dcache_page() is peculiar.  What if the page lies beyond 4G?
      
      - gss_wrap_req_priv() needs checking (snd_buf->page_base)

      [PATCH] Fix and add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) · 28fd1298
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      This patch add EXPORT_SYMBOL(filemap_write_and_wait) and use it.
      
      See mm/filemap.c:
      
      And changes the filemap_write_and_wait() and filemap_write_and_wait_range().
      
      Current filemap_write_and_wait() doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite()
      returns error.  However, even if filemap_fdatawrite() returned an
      error, it may have submitted the partially data pages to the device.
      (e.g. in the case of -ENOSPC)
      
      <quotation>
      Andrew Morton writes,
      
      If filemap_fdatawrite() returns an error, this might be due to some
      I/O problem: dead disk, unplugged cable, etc.  Given the generally
      crappy quality of the kernel's handling of such exceptions, there's a
      good chance that the filemap_fdatawait() will get stuck in D state
      forever.
      </quotation>
      
      So, this patch doesn't wait if filemap_fdatawrite() returns the -EIO.
      
      Trond, could you please review the nfs part?  Especially I'm not sure,
      nfs must use the "filemap_fdatawrite(inode->i_mapping) == 0", or not.

      [PATCH] fat: support a truncate() for expanding size (generic_cont_expand) · 05eb0b51
      OGAWA Hirofumi 提交于
      This patch changes generic_cont_expand(), in order to share the code
      with fatfs.
      
        - Use vmtruncate() if ->prepare_write() returns a error.
      
      Even if ->prepare_write() returns an error, it may already have added some
      blocks.  So, this truncates blocks outside of ->i_size by vmtruncate().
      
        - Add generic_cont_expand_simple().
      
      The generic_cont_expand_simple() assumes that ->prepare_write() can handle
      the block boundary.  With this, we don't need to care the extra byte.
      
      And for expanding a file size by truncate(), fatfs uses the
      added generic_cont_expand_simple().
